If you were required to go through a security screening before clocking in or after clocking out — without pay — federal law may entitle you to compensation. Find out in minutes.
Workers at Home Depot distribution centers in Maryland are often required to pass through a mandatory security screening — including bag checks, metal detector scans, or other procedures — before they clock in at the start of their shift or after they clock out at the end. This screening process can take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour or more each day. Under federal law, time spent waiting for and undergoing a required security screening is compensable work time that must be paid.
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay workers for all compensable time worked, including pre-shift and post-shift activities that are required by and for the benefit of the employer. If you worked at a Home Depot distribution center in Maryland and were required to go through a security screening without pay, you may be entitled to recover back wages for up to three years of unpaid time.
“Workers who are required to show up early or stay late without pay carry an unfair burden. Federal law exists to make them whole.”
